FAQs

How often should I wash my down items?

Wash down items when they appear dirty or start to lose their loft. Generally, washing once or twice per season, or as needed, is sufficient.

Can I use this kit on other types of clothing?

The Down Wash is suitable for general use, but the Down Repel is specifically formulated for down and may not be suitable for other fabrics. Always check the care label.

What if I don't have a tumble dryer?

You can air dry your down items, but it may take longer and require more frequent redistribution of the down. The dryer balls are designed for tumble dryers, to prevent clumping.

How do I store my down items?

Store your down items in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing them, as this can damage the down. A breathable storage bag is ideal.

How much Down Wash should I use?

Follow the instructions on the Down Wash bottle. Typically, you will need a small amount, relative to the load size, but always consult the instructions.

What is the shelf life of the Down Wash and Down Repel?

The shelf life is typically several years if stored properly in a cool, dry place. Check the bottles for any expiration dates or signs of degradation.

Can I use fabric softener with down items?

No, do not use fabric softener, as it can reduce the effectiveness of the down and the water-repellent treatment.

Troubleshooting

Down item is not as fluffy after washing.

Ensure the item is completely dry. Use the dryer balls during tumble drying to help restore the loft. Redistribute the down by hand if necessary. Run another drying cycle.
